Solution is to move the contents of /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf to
another file in /etc/dovecot, like /etc/dovecot/ssl-keys.conf and then
replace conf.d/10-ssl.conf with this:

,----/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf
| ##
| ## SSL settings
| ##
|
| ssl = no
|
| !include_try /etc/dovecot/ssl-keys.conf
`----

That way it will not fail anymore for processes not having the correct
permissions, like when being invoked by a normal user on the CLI.
